Whatever the outcome of the British referendum on 23 June, there will be repercussions for European integration. With the current polls suggesting a close vote to remain in the EU, will the margin be big enough to placate the Eurosceptics within the British media, Conservative party and population at large? Will a strengthened resentment towards the EU pressurise any future government to take a hard line against further integration of the eurozone? Alternatively, if the vote goes the other way, what will BREXIT mean for the EU? This Policy Dialogue sought to assess what impact Britain’s future relationship with the EU will have on the EU itself.

European Politics and Institutions

The European Politics and Institutions Programme covers the EU’s institutional architecture, governance and policymaking to ensure that it can move forward and respond to the challenges of the 21st century democratically and effectively. It also monitors and analyses political developments at the EU level and in the member states, discussing the key questions of how to involve European citizens in the discussions over the Union’s future and how to win their support for European integration. The Programme has a special focus on enlargement policy towards the Western Balkans, questions of EU institutional reform and illiberal trends in European democracies.
